The rejoicing of the governor of the Murmansk region, Yuri Evdokimov, was short-lived, thanks to whose support his former deputy Sergei Subbotin defeated the protege of United Russia, pushing him out of the chair of the mayor of Murmansk. The party promised that it would remove Evdokimov from work, and on March 21 it became known that the governor was dismissed at his own request, writes Kommersant.

On the ancient square in Frankfurt stands Themis, the work of not the best sculptor of some distant century. Everything is as it should be with that Themis - scales, a sword... Only the eyes are not blindfolded. We have seen such femidas in Moscow too! At least on the Supreme Court building. However, do not rush into generalizations. Frankfurt local historians argue that this local incident is not an omission, but part of an edifying plan: the medieval Themis clearly faces the city hall.

It was at a conference in the European capital located much south of Moscow. Instead of the ice and dirty slurry that was bored during the winter - flowering wood, camellia and cherry. The sky is blue, the sun shines. I want to believe in the best. And the conference, damn it, is devoted to safety problems and Russian approaches to it. And it is quite obvious to all participants that no matter how many buttons with meaningful inscriptions Sergey Lavrov pressed, Moscow policy will not change.

Unknown persons doused Boris Nemtsov, one of the contenders for the post of mayor of Sochi, with ammonia. Nemtsov was on his way to a press conference at his campaign headquarters on March 23 when three young men jumped out from around the corner and began pouring a mixture of water and ammonia on him from two-liter plastic bottles. Drops hit Nemtsov on his sleeve and in his eyes. It was not possible to detain the attackers; no one called an ambulance or the police.

Now Boris Efimovich’s condition is normal. He washed his eyes and decided not to even go to the emergency room. The guards were there and they were also doused. Two security guards and Komsomolskaya Pravda journalist Tatyana Kireeva were seriously injured. I managed to cover my face, so they only doused my clothes, but they hit me in the face and in the eyes.

An open letter to the President of the Russian Federation D.A. Medvedev Dear Dmitry Anatolyevich! I am forced to contact you due to numerous requests from the residents of Sochi, who asked me to represent them in the upcoming mayoral elections. Citizens are expressing extreme concern about the progress of preparations for the 2014 Winter Olympics. There are several problems.

The decision of the Milli Majlis (parliament) of Azerbaijan that the president can be elected an unlimited number of times, of course, did not become a sensation. Moreover, this decision is routine, there is zero new information in it. Azerbaijan is not just a de facto monarchy. It is much more interesting that Azerbaijan, the first and so far the last, managed to successfully solve the main task of post-Soviet political philosophy. Namely: to establish a hereditary monarchy.

On March 23, 2009, in Sochi, an attack was committed on one of the leaders of the Solidarity movement, candidate for mayor of Sochi Boris Nemtsov, members of his campaign headquarters and the journalists accompanying them. Several young people doused them with a liquid containing ammonia. It was only by luck that no one was hurt. There are good reasons to believe that members of the pro-Kremlin organization “Nashi” took part in the attack.
